Historical perspectives can help students explore the nature of science, the development of microbiological knowledge, and the connections between microbes, society, and human health. This roundtable discussion will introduce educators to the American Society for Microbiology Committee on the History of Microbiology and Archives (CHOMA), including collections that can be incorporated into undergraduate microbiology education. I will briefly share how archival resources are being utilized in the Microbiology Time Machine, a first-year elective I am teaching at the University of Washington Bothell where students are collaborating with CHOMA to create teaching artifacts centered on key milestones in microbiology. This conversation will build community among faculty interested in using historical perspectives to enrich their teaching while identifying educator needs, brainstorming priorities for teaching toolkits, and exploring how CHOMA can support educators interested in integrating microbiology history into undergraduate education.
